It's been a while... I'm back on tracking for January. Think I've lost some of my old FitnessPal friends in the months I've not been on.
Swam today, lovely & quiet - need to get some motivation for exercising in the dark mornings before work next week though.

I'm sure there must be other Scots new, or logging back in with resolutions?

    Back to gym and logging this week. Put on a lot of the weight I lost which isn't great but If I hadn't lost it I dread to think what I'd weigh now.

    Yes! I'm back again too! I've gained a whopping 12lbs in the last few months that i wasn't on! It's scary how fast it goes on when you are not tracking, and how much you actually underestimate what is going into your mouth!

    I've recently signed up to do the Kiltwalk in April, so i now need to get in shape for that! 26 miles is not going to be easy.

    I always think having a goal or something to focus you certainly does help.

    Hope you are all fired up and ready to get healthy in 2015. :smile:

    Yep I was about 12lbs up in 2014... I did so well 2013 but got a bit complacent.
    Maybe I need a goal, but 26 mile walk doesn't appeal...

    I'm reinvigorated for the New Year! Put some weight on over the Festivities but excited to have a healthy year ahead. :)

    I joined a gym in November and have been going swimming 4 or 5 times a week although have yet to venture into the actual gym bit (with those scary machines!). Only lost 1lb so far but tracking every day and feeling better. I lost about 3 stone with MFP 3 years ago but the old habits came back when I didn't track. Definitely agree that the mental preparation is crucial. Still have all my old 'thin' clothes from when I did a crazy diet 7 years ago and lost 6 stone (gained it all back as fast as I lost it). I hold them up and think 'was I that small?' but at the time still thought I was too fat. Sigh. Oh well, one step (and pound) at a time. Nice to see people posting on here :-)

    OMG - just saw that I started this back in Jan. And I think I lasted less than a week...
    Back again for another re-start! Perhaps New Year is too much of a pressured time for resolutions when I was starting a new job too - let's try a new month instead and see how much progress I can make in this second half of the year....

    Has anyone else had issues committing?
    I'm really disapointed with the weight I've put on this year - still, new month, new start.
